Auxiliary Power Unit
The Problem We Solved
On occasion, haul trucks on active worksites become disabled — losing the onboard power needed to operate steering or brakes. The result is a vehicle blocking the roadway, a halt in production, and a serious safety risk to personnel and surrounding equipment.
The CooperBuilt Auxiliary Power Unit was designed not only to aid in the recovery of disabled haul trucks, but to provide peace of mind to site managers and operators. By maintaining an efficient workflow even when primary systems fail, the APU is a necessary backup safety measure that keeps your site moving.
How the APU works
Knowing that our customers prioritise safety and efficiency, Cooper Fluid Systems engineered a mobile power unit capable of supplying power to the hoist circuit – allowing a load to be dumped – and then to the brake and steering circuit to enable the vehicle to be safely towed off the roadway.
Designed to mount onto the side of a hydraulic tank and housed in a rigid, purpose-built frame, the APU is built to withstand the harsh conditions of active mining worksites.
Benefits
- Designed to provide hydraulic, pneumatic and 24vdc to enable mine sites to recover disabledhaul trucks
- APU will provide hydraulic power to the brake and steering circuits to a haul truck under towand also to dump a load if required
- Pneumatic circuit allows for pneumatic power to brake circuit of older Caterpillar machines
- Capable of delivering 24vdc 35A output to maintain battery charge whilst under tow
- Rated lifting points for crane or forklift access
- Key start panel for diesel engine. Lockable starter and battery isolation. Jump start facility via200A Anderson plug
